Three adult $ 9 , two on November 14, 1906, and one on 

 December 3, 1906; one 9 nymph; November 16, 1906. All 

 by Iconnicoff. 



The above nymph may not belong here, the anterior and in- 

 termediate femora being black and with three distinct yellowish 

 bands, the corresponding tibiae similarly but less distinctly 

 marked. The pronotum of this specimen is also marked with 

 light yellowish mottlings, tending toward the Amusus fester of 

 Giglio-Tos. One of the adults recorded above also varies 

 somewhat toward fester, which may indeed be but a form of 

 kirschianus. 

 Endacusta maculata, new species. 



A conspicuously mottled species related to astecus Saussure 

 but differing in the smaller tegmina of the male and the larger 

 size of both sexes. 



Description ( S and 9 ). — A fairly robust species, densely 

 pilose and with moderately long legs. Head short, vertical, the 

 mouth ventral ; palpi long, the apical segment much longer than 

 either of the others and abruptly swollen in the apical fourth, 

 the apex diagonally truncate ; vertex very narrow, not more 

 than one-half as broad as the basal segment of the antenna;
